The public ball was not an event Jack tended to frequent, if he attended at all. He wasn't above it though and had agreed easily enough when his usual grouping of cohorts had suggested attending to see what it was like and who they might meet there. They were all teetering on the edge of still being considered youthful men out to have fun and truly eligible gentlemen. He had been considered the latter for a while now which still took some getting used to.
He smiled at the familiar voice though the face it came from had certainly grown into a more mature beauty than she had been during their teens. He remembered fondly the sort of thrill it had been to vie for her teenage affections despite Zelda's animosity towards Miss Skeeter. It seemed all so innocently childish now through the lens of a years having passed since then and Jack having had deeper romantic woes.
"My night was much too empty and in need of your company, clearly," Jack said with a chuckle. "How have you been, Miss Skeeter? It has been altogether way too long."
